Interesting - see my other post for my details.

I just finished a basic hardware upgrade to a "newer" PC with W98 second
edition instead of W95 - WOW! - JECK!!!

In any case, I had forgot how to install my Iomega Zip 100 drive. Finally,
I found the "Tools" Zip media and the software was there! If you need
a copy, let me know. We can swap the following information -

I want to be able to burn a CD with BOTH
(a) ISO format files at the beginning
(b) RT-11 partitions at the end
Tim Shoppa did this with the RT-11 Freeware 2.0 CD - more details if
you need them?

Do you already have the "Tools" media from Iomega?

Sincerely yours,
